An honest and noble man would give his life for a principle. This official wears a lambskin coat and this coat stinks with sweat. A proud and powerful man would love justice and honor wisdom. This official wears a corset to straighten his back and honors his bosses. A confident and talented gentleman would be a great candidate for office. This official wears beautiful silks and has his lackeys say how good he is.
